  3. In the General section, find Vercel Toolbar.
  4. Under each environment (Preview and Production), select either On or Off from the dropdown to determine the visibility of the Vercel Toolbar for that environment.

  3. From the list, select Disable for Session or Hide Toolbar.

This action will hide the toolbar in the current browser tab. To show the toolbar again, open a new browser session.
